the poet mustn't
doubt himself.
that is a job
that ought be
left to others.
and the poet need not
fear for lack of doubt.
the doubters will
take to the job
with thrilling
efficiency.

there are many a person
anxiously awaiting the
opportunity to doubt,
to attempt to transfer
the debt of their own
doused dreams onto
someone else.


We must do,
leave the judging
to others.
